SPIRO-LACTAM NMDA MODULATORS AND METHODS OF USING SAME
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/443,915, filed on January 9, 2017, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/369,529, filed on August 1, 2016.
BACKGROUND
An N-methyl-d-aspartate ("NMDA") receptor is a postsynaptic, ionotropic receptor that is responsive to, inter alia, the excitatory amino acids glutamate and glycine and the synthetic compound NMDA. The NMDA receptor controls the flow of both divalent and monovalent ions into the postsynaptic neural cell through a receptor associated channel (Foster et al., Nature 1987, 329:395-396; Mayer et al., Trends in Pharmacol. Sci. 1990, 11:254-260). The NMDA receptor has been implicated during development in specifying neuronal architecture and synaptic connectivity, and may be involved in experience-dependent synaptic modifications. In addition, NMDA receptors are also thought to be involved in long term potentiation and central nervous system disorders.
The NMDA receptor plays a major role in the synaptic plasticity that underlies many higher cognitive functions, such as memory acquisition, retention and learning, as well as in certain cognitive pathways and in the perception of pain (Collingridge et al., The NMDA
Receptor, Oxford University Press, 1994). In addition, certain properties of NMDA receptors suggest that they may be involved in the information-processing in the brain that underlies consciousness itself.
The NMDA receptor has drawn particular interest since it appears to be involved in a broad spectrum of CNS disorders. For instance, during brain ischemia caused by stroke or traumatic injury, excessive amounts of the excitatory amino acid glutamate are released from damaged or oxygen deprived neurons. This excess glutamate binds to the NMDA
receptors Date recue/Date received 2023-03-06

2 which opens their ligand-gated ion channels; in turn the calcium influx produces a high level of intracellular calcium which activates a biochemical cascade resulting in protein degradation and cell death. This phenomenon, known as excitotoxicity, is also thought to be responsible for the neurological damage associated with other disorders ranging from hypoglycemia and cardiac arrest to epilepsy. In addition, there are preliminary reports indicating similar involvement in the chronic neurodegeneration of Huntington's, Parkinson's and Parkinson's related conditions such as dyskinesia and L-dopa induced dyskinesia and Alzheimer's diseases.
Activation of the NMDA receptor has been shown to be responsible for post-stroke convulsions, and, in certain models of epilepsy, activation of the NMDA
receptor has been shown to be necessary for the generation of seizures. Neuropsychiatric involvement of the NMDA receptor has also been recognized since blockage of the NMDA receptor Ca ++ channel by the animal anesthetic PCP (phencyclidine) produces a psychotic state in humans similar to schizophrenia (reviewed in Johnson, K. and Jones, S., 1990). Further, NMDA
receptors have also been implicated in certain types of spatial learning.
The NMDA receptor is believed to consist of several protein chains embedded in the postsynaptic membrane. The first two types of subunits discovered so far form a large extracellular region, which probably contains most of the allosteric binding sites, several tansmembrane regions looped and folded so as to form a pore or channel, which is permeable to Ca", and a carboxyl terminal region. The opening and closing of the channel is regulated by the binding of various ligands to domains (allosteric sites) of the protein residing on the extracellular surface. The binding of the ligands is thought to affect a conformational change in the overall structure of the protein which is ultimately reflected in the channel opening, partially opening, partially closing, or closing.
A need continues to exist in the art for novel and more specific and/or potent compounds that are capable of modulating NMDA receptors, and provide pharmaceutical benefits. In addition, a need continues to exist in the medical arts for orally deliverable forms of such compounds.

The term "stereoisomers," when used herein, consists of all geometric isomers, enantiomers and/or diastereomers of the compound. For example, when a compound is shown with specific chiral center(s), the compound depicted without such chirality at that and other chiral centers of the compound are within the scope of the present disclosure, i.e., the compound depicted in two-dimensions with "flat" or "straight" bonds rather than in three dimensions, for example, with solid or dashed wedge bonds. Stereospecific compounds may be designated by the symbols "R" or "S," depending on the configuration of substituents around the stereogenic carbon atom. The present disclosure encompasses all the various stereoisomers of these compounds and mixtures thereof. Mixtures of enantiomers or diastereomers can be Date recue/Date received 2023-03-06

9 designated "( )" in nomenclature, but a skilled artisan will recognize that a structure can denote a chiral center implicitly. It is understood that graphical depictions of chemical structures, e.g., generic chemical structures, encompass all stereoisomeric forms of the specified compounds, unless indicated otherwise.
Individual enantiomers and diastereomers of compounds of the present disclosure can be prepared synthetically from commercially available starting materials that contain asymmetric or stereogenic centers, or by preparation of racemic mixtures followed by resolution methods well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These methods of resolution are exemplified by (1) attachment of a mixture of enantiomers to a chiral auxiliary, separation of the resulting mixture of diastereomers by recrystallization or chromatography and liberation of the optically pure product from the auxiliary, (2) salt formation employing an optically active resolving agent, (3) direct separation of the mixture of optical enantiomers on chiral liquid chromatographic columns, or (4) kinetic resolution using stereoselective chemical or enzymatic reagents. Racemic mixtures also can be resolved into their component enantiomers by well-known methods, such as chiral-phase gas chromatography or crystallizing the compound in a chiral solvent. Stereoselective syntheses, a chemical or enzymatic reaction in which a single reactant forms an unequal mixture of stereoisomers during the creation of a new stereocenter or during the transformation of a pre-existing one, are well known in the art.
Stereoselective syntheses encompass both enantio- and diastereoselective transformations.
See, for example, Carreira and Kvaerno, Classics in Stereoselective Synthesis, Wiley-VCH:
Weinheim, 2009.
Geometric isomers, resulting from the arrangement of substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond or arrangement of substituents around a cycloalkyl or heterocyclic ring, can also exist in the compounds of the present disclosure. The symbol ..
denotes a bond that may be a single, double or triple bond as described herein. Substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond are designated as being in the "Z" or "E" configuration, where the terms "Z" and "E" are used in accordance with IUPAC standards. Unless otherwise specified, structures depicting double bonds encompass both the "E" and "Z" isomers.
Substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond alternatively can be referred to as "cis" or "trans," where "cis" represents substituents on the same side of the double bond and "trans" represents substituents on opposite sides of the double bond. The arrangement of Date recue/Date received 2023-03-06

10 substituents around a carbocyclic ring can also be designated as "cis" or "trans." The term "cis" represents substituents on the same side of the plane of the ring and the term "trans"
represents substituents on opposite sides of the plane of the ring. Mixtures of compounds wherein the substituents are disposed on both the same and opposite sides of plane of the ring are designated "cis/trans."
The disclosure also embraces isotopically-labeled compounds which are identical to those compounds recited herein, except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds described herein include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine and chlorine, such as 2H ("D"), 3H, 13C, 14C, 15N, 180, 170, 31p, 32p, 35, 6 18F, and 36C1, respectively. For example, a compound described herein can have one or more H atoms replaced with deuterium.
Certain isotopically-labeled compounds (e.g., those labeled with 3H and mC) can be useful in compound and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (i.e., 31-1) and carbon-14 (i.e., 14C) isotopes can be particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., 2H) can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements) and hence can be preferred in some circumstances.
Isotopically-labeled compounds can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed herein, for example, in the Examples section, by substituting an isotopically-labeled reagent for a non-isotopically-labeled reagent.

Amounts of a disclosed compound as described herein in a formulation may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual. Dosage regimens may be adjusted to provide the optimum therapeutic response. For example, a single bolus may be administered, several divided doses may be administered over time or the dose may be proportionally reduced or increased as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. It is especially advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the mammalian subjects to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier.
The specification for the dosage unit forms are dictated by and directly dependent on (a) the unique characteristics of the compound selected and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and (b) the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such an active compound for the treatment of sensitivity in individuals.
Therapeutic compositions typically must be sterile and stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage. The composition can be formulated as a solution, microemulsion, liposome, or other ordered structure suitable to high drug concentration. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, polyalcohols such as mannitol, sorbitol, or sodium chloride in the composition.
Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent which delays absorption, for example, monostearate salts and gelatin.
The compounds can be administered in a time release formulation, for example in a composition which includes a slow release polymer. The compounds can be prepared with carriers that will protect the compound against rapid release, such as a controlled release formulation, including implants and microencapsulated delivery systems.

B. POSITIVE EMOTIONAL LEARNING (PEL) TEST
This example demonstrates the positive emotional learning (PEL) test.
Experiments were conducted as described in Burgdorf et al., "The effect of selective breeding for differential rates of 50-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations on emotional behavior in rats,"
Devel. Psychobiol., 51:34-46 (2009). Rat 50-kHz ultrasonic vocalization (hedonic USVs) is a validated model for the study of positive affective state and is best elicited by rough-and-tumble play. 50-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations have previously been shown to be positively correlated with reward and appetitive social behavior in rats, and to reflect a positive affective state.
The PEL assay measures the acquisition of positive (hedonic) 50-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) to a social stimulus, heterospecific rough and tumble play stimulation.
Heterospecific rough-and-tumble play stimulation was administered by the experimenter's right hand. One hour after administration of test compound or vehicle negative control (0.5%
sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in 0.9% sterile vehicle), animals received 3 min of heterospecific rough-and-tumble play that consisted of alternating 15 sec blocks of heterospecific play and 15 sec of no-stimulation. High frequency ultrasonic vocalizations Date recue/Date received 2023-03-06

94 (USVs) were recorded and analyzed by sonogram with Avasoft SASlab Pro (Geimany) as previously described by Burgdorf et al., "Positive emotional learning is regulated in the medial prefrontal cortex by GluN2B-containing NMDA receptors," Neuroscience, 192:515-(2011). Frequency modulated 50-kHz USVs that occurred during each of the no-stimulation periods were quantified to measure PEL. Animals were not habituated to play stimulation before testing. Positive emotional learning was measured during the conditioned stimulus (CS) trials preceding the tickle unconditioned stimulus (UCS) trials. Animals received 15 second trials consisting of 6 CS and 6 UCS trials each (3 min total). For Compound AA-2, where the dose was in the range of 0.001 ¨ 1 mg/kg and given orally, the maximum effect was in the range of 10.1-20, which denotes the mean number of 50 kHz USVs per 15 seconds.
The experiment had a vehicle control group, where a typical maximum effect was lower than 6.0 50 kHz USVs per 15 seconds.
C. NMDAR AGONIST ASSAYS
Assays were conducted as described by Moskal et al., "GLYX-13: a monoclonal antibody-derived peptide that acts as an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor modulator,"
Neuropharmacology, 49, 1077-87, 2005. These studies were designed to determine if the test compounds act to facilitate NMDAR activation in NMDAR2A, NMDAR2B, NMDAR2C or NMDAR2D expressing HEK cell membranes as measured by increases in [31-INK-801 binding.
In the assay, 300 ps of NMDAR expressing HEK cell membrane extract protein was preincubated for 15 minutes at 25 C in the presence of saturating concentrations of glutamate (50 M) and varying concentrations of test compound (1x10-15M ¨ 1x10-7M), or 1 mM glycine.
Following the addition of 0.3 Ci of [31-11MK-801 (22.5 Ci/mmol), reactions were again incubated for 15 minutes at 25 C (nonequilibrium conditions). Bound and free [3H]MK-801 were separated via rapid filtration using a Brandel apparatus.
In analyzing the data, the DPM (disintegrations per minute) of [31-I]MK-801 remaining on the filter were measured for each concentration of test compound or for 1 mM glycine. The DPM values for each concentration of a ligand (N=2) were averaged. The baseline value was determined from the best fit curve of the DPM values modeled using the GraphPad program and the log(agonist) vs. response(three parameters) algorithm was then subtracted from all Date recue/Date received 2023-03-06

95 points in the dataset. The % maximal [31-I]MK-801 binding was then calculated relative to that of 1 mM glycine: all baseline subtracted DPM values were divided by the average value for 1 mM glycine. The EC50 and % maximal activity were then obtained from the best fit curve of the % maximal [31-INK-801 binding data modelled using the GraphPad program and the log(agonist) vs. response(three parameters) algorithm.
The tables below summarize the results for the wild type NMDAR agonists NMDAR2A, NMDAR2B, NMDAR2C, and NMDAR2D, and whether the compound is not an agonist (-), is an agonist (+), or is a strong agonist (+-F), where column A
is based on the %
maximal [31-1]MK-801 binding relative to 1 mM glycine (- =0; < 100% = +; and >
100% = ++);
and column B is based on log ECso values (0 = -; > 1x10-9 M (e.g., -8) = +;
and < 1x10-9 M
(e.g., -10) = -HF).

NOVEL OBJECT RECOGNITION (NOR) Experiments were conducted as described previously (Hirst et al., 2006). Rats were habituated to the NOR test box twice a day for two consecutive days prior to testing. Each habituation session was comprised of a 3 mm exposure to the empty test box (46 x 30 x 45 cm), followed by 1 min in the side annex (13 x 30 x 45 cm) and a further 3 min in the test box, thereby mimicking the test protocol. A vehicle dose was administered prior to one of the habituation sessions on each habituation day. The NOR test comprised two test sessions, Ti and T2, each lasting for 3 min. On the first test day, Ti, rats were habituated to the empty test box for 3 min, and then placed in the side annex for approximately 1 min whilst two identical test objects were placed in the test arena equally spaced to each other and the side walls. The rat was then returned to the test arena and allowed to freely explore the objects for a further 3 min. At the end of the test session the rat was returned to its home cage.
Following a 24 h inter-trial interval, the recall trial (T2) was conducted. T2 was similar to Ti except that one of the 'familiar' objects was substituted for a novel one of a similar size and color but different shape.
Date recue/Date received 2023-03-06

98 The objects used were made of black hardened plastic and were geometric shapes (towers and cylinders) that were of no relevance to the animals.
Ti and T2 trials were recorded and files were scored remotely by an investigator blinded to the treatments. Exploration was scored as time spent sniffing or licking the objects, when the nose was in contact with the object and was moving (i.e. when the animal was sniffing). Sitting on the object or next to it with the nose directed away was not classed as exploration.
For the Compound AA-2 study, Compound AA-2 (1 mg/kg, oral gavage) or vehicle (CMC Saline, oral gavage) was administered 60 minutes before Ti. Animals were assessed for total exploration time of novel vs. familiar objects in T2 (Figure 1A), difference in exploration time between familiar and novel object in T2 (Figure 1B) and discrimination index (d2) [= (time spent exploring the novel object in T2 - time spent exploring the familiar object in T2)/total exploration time of both objects in T21 (Figure 1C).
F: PORSOLT ASSAY
A non-clinical in vivo pharmacology study (Porsolt assay) was performed to measure antidepressant-like effects. A negative control (0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in 0.9%
sterile saline vehicle) and a positive control (fluoxetine) are shown for comparison against test compound. The study allowed for the evaluation of the effects of each compound on the Porsolt forced swim test as assessed by the rats' response (reduced floating time) during a 5-minute swimming test.
Male 2-3 month old Sprague Dawley rats were used (Harlan, Indianapolis, IN).
Rats were housed in Lucite cages with aspen wood chip bedding, maintained on a 12:12 light:dark cycle (lights on at 5 AM), and given ad libitum access to Purina lab chow (USA) and tap water throughout the study.
The Porsolt forced swim test adapted for use in rats was performed as described by Burgdorf et al., (The long-lasting antidepressant effects of rapastinel (GLYX-13) are associated with a metaplasticity process in the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampus.
Neuroscience 308:202-211, 2015). Animals were placed in a 46 cm tall x 20 cm in diameter clear glass tube filled to 30 cm with tap water (23 1 C) for 15 min on the first day (habituation) and 5 min on the subsequent test day. Positive control fluoxetine was dosed 3 times (24 h, 5 h and 1 h) prior Date recue/Date received 2023-03-06

99 to testing. Animals were tested 1 h or 24 h post-dosing with the test compounds or vehicle.
Animals received a 15 min habituation session 1 day before the 5 min test.
Water was changed after every other animal. Animals were videotaped, and floating time as defined as the minimal amount of effort required to keep the animals head above water was scored offline by a blinded experimenter with high inter-rater reliability (Pearson's r> .9).
The results for test compounds are shown in the table below. Each compound tested at dose level shown. Significance vs. vehicle group for each experiment is marked. A compound marked "Yes" was found to be statistically significant (p <= 0.05) from vehicle at dose level shown. A compound marked "No" was not statistically significant from vehicle.
Data was averaged for test compound and vehicle groups (N approximately 8 per group) and the percent reduction in floating for group treated with test compound relative to group treated with vehicle is shown.

G. BENNETT ASSAY
The Bennett model of mechanical analgesia is used to assess the analgesic effects of compounds as measured by paw withdrawal threshold. Bennett GJ, Xie YK, "A
peripheral mononeuropathy in rat that produces disorders of pain sensation like those seen in man," Pain 33:87-107, 1988. Sciatic nerve chronic constriction nerve injury surgery is performed on animals with testing for analgesic response once animals have recovered from surgery but still exhibit a low threshold of paw withdrawal after application of von Frey filaments. Vehicle animals receive the surgery and then receive vehicle rather than test compound. Animals were tested 1 hr, 24 h and 1 wk post-test compound or vehicle administration.
Male 2-3 month old Sprague Dawley rats were used. Harlan was the supplier for all studies. Rats were housed in Lucite cages with aspen wood chip bedding, maintained on a Date recue/Date received 2023-03-06

100 12:12 light:dark cycle (lights on at 5 AM), and given ad libitum access to Purina lab chow (USA) and tap water throughout the study.
Rats were anesthetized using inhaled isoflurane (2.5%). Sciatic nerve chronic constriction nerve injury surgery was performed as previously described (Bennett and Xie, 1988). An incision (-1.5 cm in length) was made with a scalpel blade dorsally through skin on the right hind limb, parallel and posterior to femur. Using a small pointed hemostat, the biceps femoris and gluteus superficialis muscles were separated. Using curved blunt forceps, the common sciatic nerve was isolated and exposed. For the mechanical analgesia studies, the whole sciatic nerve was ligated. Using hemostats/forceps and chromic gut (5-0), the nerve was loosely ligated with a square knot; 3 ligatures, 1 mm apart were placed on the nerve. The ligatures were tightened to the point that the suture did not slide up or down the nerve. This protocol resulted in a partial loss-of-function of the nerve. Testing occurred approximately 2 weeks post-surgery.
During testing, rats were acclimated to the surface of a suspended wire mesh grid (1 cm X 1 cm, with the wire being 0.3 cm in diameter) for 15-20 min. Starting from the smallest, each Von Frey filament was pressed perpendicularly to the plantar surface of the affected (ipsilateral) hind paw until slightly bent and then held for 6 second. If an obvious hind paw withdrawal or a flinching behavior immediately after the withdrawal of the filament was not observed, the next larger filament was used in the same manner. In case of a response, a lower filament was used. This was repeated until six responses were collected.
For all studies, animals were baselined prior to study start to test for allodynia (defined as a paw withdrawal threshold under 5). A subset of animals was tested with gabapentin (150 mg/kg, PO) to ensure at least 50% analgesia. Once it was confirmed animals were ready for study initiation, animals were balanced across groups. All study investigators were blind to treatment conditions. Animals were dosed with 0.1, 1, 10, or 30 mg/kg of test compound via oral gavage (PO), control sets of animals were dosed with gabapentin (150 mg/kg, PO) or vehicle (0.5% Na-CMC in 0.9% sterile saline, PO). Testing occurred 1 h post-dosing with animals retested 24 hrs and 1 week post-dosing. The percent analgesia calculations for each animal were made using the following equation: % analgesia = [(log(x) ¨ y) /
((log (z) ¨ y)] *
100, where x = the paw withdrawal threshold for the drug-treated animal in grams, y = the average of the log(x) values for the vehicle treated group, and z = the paw withdrawal threshold Date recue/Date received 2023-03-06

101 for naïve animals in grams (historical value of 15 used). The results for Compound AA-2, where the percentage of analgesia is measured at 1 hour, 24 hours, and 1 week after compound administration are as follows: for 0.1 mg/kg dose: 22.3% at 1 h, 1.6% at 24 h, and 2.3% at 1 wk; for 1 mg/kg dose: 19.2% at 1 h, 10.7% at 24 h, and 11.0% at 1 wk; for 10 mg/kg dose:
38.1% at 1 h, 24.3% at 24 h, and 41.4% at 1 wk; and for 30 mg/kg dose: 24.4%
at 1 h, 8.7% at 24 h, and 34.5% at 1 wk. The study had a gabapentin control group, where example (typical) gabapentin control values for 150 mg/kg dose are 72% at 1 h, 16% at 24h, and 0% at 1 wk. For the study, gabapentin was confirmed effective (demonstrating at least 50%
analgesia at 1 h post-administration). Gabapentin was not different from vehicle and resulted in no analgesia (<5%) at 24 h and 1 week post-administration.
